British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing fierce competition for the title of "British Trump," which has been a lot of media reports attached to him, with the entry of the party leader "Brexit" Nigel Faraj on the line, and crowding him in belonging to the populist school, and embrace conservative right, hostile ideas For immigrants, at the heart of them are Muslims, who find themselves between the hammer of Johnson and anvil Faraj.

Faraj succeeded in imposing himself and his party on the British political map, where the expectations of the British Election Poll Center suggest that the party will occupy the fourth place in the elections scheduled for December 12, and the British center is expected to compete strongly for the third place. .

The rapid rise of the Brexit star was admired by US President Donald Trump, who took a surprise and unprecedented step, when Nigel Farrag singled out a call on Britain's LBC to praise him and announce his support for him in the upcoming elections.

Trump threw a lot of flowers on Faraj's path, reopened the debate about the relationship the British politician had woven with the far-right leaders in the world, led by the American Steve Bannon, the godfather of the global populist right, who has friendly relations with Faraj. With Time magazine about Bannon's position on Islam, he justified his racist statements against Muslims in which he described them as brutal, as a "misunderstanding."

Faraj's political history is full of anti-Muslim attitudes, despite his resignation from the UK Independence Party justified by the fact that the party has become "obsessed with the fight against Islam," and includes in its ranks people with Nazi ideas.

However, Faraj's Brexit party also includes members known for their anti-Islam and anti-Muslim symbols, including British politician Catherine Blake Locke, whose pages on social networking sites are filled with racist comments against Muslims, warn of Muslim domination of the country, and ridicule the veils. It considers the growing births of British Muslims a threat to the country's identity.

All these attitudes that pass through the full view of Nigel Farage, without any computation, reflect in part his personal ideas. The man does not hide his "fear of the Islamization of British society" and raises the slogan of restoring British independence, expressing anti-immigrant ideas. Faraj believes that foreigners and Muslims in the UK are a burden on British identity and a threat to its cultural dimension.

The British face of the extreme right
Professor Kamel Hawash, a professor at the University of Birmingham, does not hesitate to describe Farrag as one of the important faces of the far right in the West, by "playing on British independence and restoring British decision from Brussels."

In his interview with Al Jazeera Net, Hawash warns of the seriousness of Faraj's speech, "because it targets groups who do not understand the value of immigration in Britain, and do not have access to what immigrants in this country, and complain to a superficial simplistic speech that blames immigrants for any problem facing the country.

He pointed to Faraj's intelligence in using the hint speech without declaring, "He does not enter into a direct confrontation with Muslims, but uses terms such as threatening British identity and fear of Islamization, not Muslims", justifying this method awaiting the grand prize for which he fought thirty years. Faraj is expected to become "more outspoken and aggressive in attacking Muslims," ​​says Hawash.

Concerning the possibility of an alliance between the leaders of the Conservative Party, Boris Johnson and the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, excludes Hawash this in the near future, despite the flirtation of the Conservatives when Faraj welcomed any rapprochement between his party and the party of Boris Johnson, had the latter blocked all doors in the face of any cooperation with the Party of Brexit, By categorically rejecting any coalition in the upcoming elections, or after the elections to form a coalition government.

Danger to the Muslim community
Moussa Abdel Razzaq, head of the Arab Center for Liverpool, is following with great concern the rise of Brexit shares, expressing in his comments to Al Jazeera Net that he fears that this party and its leader will get advanced ranks in the upcoming elections, "because this would be a severe blow to the Arab and Muslim communities."

Abdel Razzaq, who is in charge of social services at Liverpool City Council, believes that any election victory for Faraj "will stimulate a lot of negative feelings towards Muslims, and will encourage many to adopt anti-foreign and Arab communities in particular."

The Yemeni civil activist stresses the seriousness of the party's rhetoric, "because it sends a message that the alien is a threat to national security; therefore, it incites against immigrants," an incitement that will make Muslim life in Britain very complex, "whether in finding a job or even engaging in social life. And civil in Britain. "

To counter the anti-Muslim rhetoric, Abdul-Razzaq calls on Arab and Muslim communities to participate intensively in politics and vote for parties he sees as calling for a co-existence that recognizes differences and multiculturalism. "Standing by will not benefit Muslim communities as much as they will harm them and make them the victims of racist discourse. Any opportunity to pounce on the British model of diversity. "
